Every term , the Associated Student Government typically
h o sts an in tra m u ra l a th le tic ev en t fo r C la ck a m a s
Com m unity College students to enjoy, and the trend has
continued into.spring term.
This term , A SG hosts an intram ural volleyball gam e
once a week.
On Tuesdays, A SG sets up a volleyball net in the grass
betw een the Com m u nity Center and Barlow H all. A ny
CCC student that stops by between noon and 1 p .m . can
participate as long as they sign a waiver.
Alexa Carrera, the ASG member in charge o f the event,
talked about the event and encouraged anybody to join
and ensured the game would be laid back.
“ It’ s super chill/’ Carrera said. “ If enough people show,
it’ s a little com petitive, but it’s m ostly chill and just to
have fu n .”
In the fa ll, there was flag football and soccer. However
during the w inter term there was no intramural games
because A SG couldn’ t find anybody to take care o f it.
So far this term there have been only a few people who
have shown up each week, aside from when it was rained
out twice in the first two w eeks, but Carrera looks to
improve it and get more people to show up.
“ I still have to get the word out a little m ore,” Carrera
said, “ but once it starts getting sunny out, people are going
to be outside and want to play a little more, so they’ll see
the [volleyball] n e t.”
If it’s a nice day it is hard to miss, considering it’s roughly
in the middle of the campus. According to Alex Ticknor, an
ASG member who helps set up and watch it every week,
it is easy to play.
“ All you have to do is sign a waiver in case you get hurt,”
Ticknor said. “ Once you sign that, you can play.”
Kristina Shevchenko, who played just a couple weeks
ago, said she sees potential in it.
“ 1 d efin itely w ould com e b ack , I w ill be here every
Tuesday,” Shevchenko said. “ I th in k if enough people
know about this going on, it could be a big thing. ”
A SG plans to continue to have events sim ilar to this
every fall, winter and spring term
A volleyball net will be set up every Tuesday that isn’t wet
and ASG encourages anybody to join and invite anybody
they would want to play with.
“ Everybody is welcome,” Carrera said, “ so don’t be afraid
to stop by and say *Hey I wanna play.’ ”
